<Ieyasu, build Edo>

　On January 2, 2019, the NHK New Year era drama "Ieyasu, build Edo (Part 1: control water)" was broadcast. . (Original author: Keiki Kadoi)

　The main character of this historical drama is Fujigoro Okubo (actor: Kuranosuke Sasaki), who maintained Josui at the order of Ieyasu.

　Fujigoro, who was in charge of maintaining clean water in Edo, finds spring water around Kanda Myojin, and first maintains Koishikawa water supply. And with the population increase in Edo, we will work on a major job from Inokashira Pond through the Kanda River Josui to the town of Edo. The hardships and human patterns in that area are depicted.

　Just about 400 years ago, the capital Tokyo was a wilderness covered with harsh nature.

　In the context of Chuo-ku, the area seems to be an area full of reeds, such as the Yukaku being named Yoshihara.

　So what kind of scenery was the place where reeds grew as far as the eye can see?

<This image>　－As far as the eye can see, the field of reeds

　Hara of the reed is like this. I took a picture in Kushiro Marsh.

　The first photo is a corner with reeds. The Nature Guide told me about this place.

　The second photo is a photo of your feet. It indicates that this area is a wetland.

　In order to image the land of Edo when reeds were overgrown, I pulled out a photo taken in Kushiro Marsh earlier this time.

<Scene>　－My husband, this is Edo-　

　Finally, there was an impressive scene in the historical drama "Ieyasu, build Edo", so I will introduce it. ※From this, it's "Netabare". Please keep in mind.

　(In 1590, when Ieyasu entered Edo. At the order of Ieyasu, Fujigoro Okubo was in charge of the water supply work in Edo. Togoro traveled from Sunpu to Edo with Anbei to find spring water suitable for clean water. It's the first time for Fujigoro. He was proceeding along the road without roads while scraping the grass, but as far as the eye can see, the reed Hara spreads. That's why Fujigoro asked.

　Fujigoro Okubo: "Anbei, how far is it to Edo?"

　Anbei: "What are you talking about, my husband. This is Edo.

For those who are studying for the 11th (February 3rd) Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Examination, I will guide you through effective learning methods based on my experience so far.

Naturally, be sure to prepare the official text "Chuo-ku Mononoshiri Encyclopedia for Walking" and a collection of past problems. First, read the text diagonally and input the outline. You don't have to try to remember the details here, so you know the whole image. Next, let's try the collection of past problems intensively. You may only be able to do about 50%, but you don't have to worry too much. By solving past problems for three years, I think that you will understand the general tendency of questions.

For example, "The origin of ●●●", "■ people related to ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The author of ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The origin of ●●●”...The predecessor, old name, alias, current name" is often questioned. "Number" is also easy to make a problem, so remember the points related to numbers. Once you understand the approximate tendency of questions like this, I will read the text carefully. Mark this place where you think it's likely to come out and read the text repeatedly. I think it's a good idea to read it while assuming the filling problem on your own. Make sure you have a solid image of the photos and maps posted in the text.

　Also, it is better to remember the events and news that have been around for the past 1-2 years. Because it is the theme of the 11th exam, "Heisei no Chuo-ku", problems related to Heisei are expected, so it may be fun to try Yama.

Recently, a site has been set up on the website of the Tourism Association to solve past questions called "Chuo-ku Tourism Certification de Time Attack", so I think it would be nice to use this.

　The pass line is 75 points, so we do not aim for 100 points, but target 80 points. In other words, there is a feeling that you don't have to do 20 points. Please stay calm and do your best.
